for the use The per" to provide )f shippers and othem. cnior ob ect of the int-ammo is type in Wl ioh n double-inset carbon is intervals with the receipts, and in which lMK-k the carbon shell be folded and protected in in; will he hereinafter set forth.

The invention consists of the partsend the constrii :tion and con'ibination of parts as hereinafger more fully described and olninied, hailing reference to the accompanyin; iii-airings, in Wliich- Figure 1 IS a perspective of the book.

an elevation of n closefolded book.

My improved book is media sip of a. series of leaves A. rlivitled on lines of perforations :2-31 into substantially three equal portions, excliisive of the stub l; the several stubs l, earl) n5 5 and protective sheets; (3 being hound together into book form. and the leaves Amid protective sheets 6 being connected to their stubs along lines of perforation 7 and the several in rnons. protective shee snnil leaves being not/:hed, as at 8, on the line or" the perforations 7 to enable the several leevee to or reecliiy detached.

T. we three sections of each leaf A are similarly printed in'the iorm of the ordinary shipping-receipt; with suitable blanks thereon 51' the description of the articles, eta, to ,e Shipped; the printing on the inititlle section of a leaf being reverse to the printing on the two terminal sections. That is to any. the face of the blank for the central section is on the opposite side of the sheet. from the face portions of the printed matter on the two terminal sections.

The double-faced oarhon-ehoets 5 are (lieposed at suitable intervals through the hook, and underneath each carbon-shoot IS a proiertlvr sheet (3.

A when the "int-{er uni the million-sheet. are oponoii' out. While the proterlivo sheet (5 is preferably of the :innirlrnglh as: an opened slirel ii. and this protertivo shoot in peril shipping-rereipt book; of the a. novel and eilicient manner; zzll 'lhe onrlvon-nlwots. are npproxznintrly two-thirds thev length 'or' n lent.

When than; interfolded, ihe protective she is Cally foldenl to'ioe on itself. n l

is doubled over, with the out m or end of the protective sneet i be tween. the overlying: neat-ions i F and the carbon heing promo and below from the iJOllPilillf The construction of the ca l; :1 ire sheet and their inter L; is important, because it oiiers'e teccion to the miner certioi 1w in use.

Vv'ithout the interfoltlnig m: Rho cnrlmn winner herein and protective sheet in the een found lhni' shown and described. it has the. carbons heroine the number 01 leaves hove minish. and frequently ihe lea sinuilged up by the carbon. By my in;-

roved method this is inipo 'jo: and in addition to the zul 'nntnges above mentioned. my carbons are still further protected from the weather, since the orrrl'ohlrtl protective sheet; forms in fact v. prowl-ling envelop. In practice, the hooks.

zillions :iinl protectii'e sheets.- aftor being snitnhly Zlh'h'lllllliled. are loonntl up by their stubs: the (earbons and Old-Sill protecting shorts; being, o arranged thnt they can it nndepread over the miller receipt shoots i when in use. To use the hook. iii-e topmost ran-hon and its protective sheet are oponoil out and its protectii e sheet torn oil and thrown away. The topmost receipt sheet, A is then interfolcleil with the rnroon in a manner siinihir lo the manner in which the protevtivo sheet lintl lwon ini'erfoiileti the carbon. When the proper rerortl 111:5 lntl. made on the shipping-receipt. the leaf is opened out and torn oi? nnalthwsertions known in the art. l lnoh leaf is similarly written on until the next carbon in the hook ikki/.2. so. .i

opened out 18 reached, when the top carbon is torn off and tl'irown away, and the next carbon then opened out and its protective sheet torn oif and thrown away; and the operation is so continued until the book is used up.

Under some circumstances, where a shipper reqi'iires the book to be compressed into the narrowest compass possible when notin use, each leaf A, in the book may be folded over on itself, in the manner shown in Fig. 2, so that. the whole book will occupy in width only the space of a single section of a leaf.

In referring to the sheetsA as receipts,

I mean sort of a recording sheet foldable and operable substantially as in the manner herein described, 'whereon any sort of a nianifolding record is desired to be made.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. A manifolding book comprising a plurality of record-sheets divided along weakened lines into three substantially equal sections, foldable protective sheets of substantially the same length and width the rec-- ord sheets, arranged at intervals between the record sheets, and a carbon lying upon and extending substantially two-thirds of the length. or each protective sheet, said several record'sheets, protective sheets, and carbons having respective stubs which are all bound together in book form, and said carbons and the sections, whereby book is their respective protective sheets norinall interfolded so that the .occupy but approximately one-third the ength of the recordsheets and overlie those sections of the record-sheets which are attached to the stubs.

2. A manifolding book comprisin a. series of record sheets, each divided into three substantially equal separable sections, weakened lines, foldable protective sheets of the same size approximatel as the record sheets, arranged at suitable Intervals among the record sheets, a double-faced carbon superposed on each protective sheet and extending substantially two-thirds the length thereof, said record-sheets, protective sheets and carbons bound together at one end, each protective sheet having its outer end overolded on its carbon and then the overfolded prote'ctivesheet, and the carbon overfolded upon themselves whereby the carbon is protected both above and below by the protective sheet, and each record-sheet folded twice upon itself along the weakened lines between the Width of the entire substantially that of one-third the length of a record-sheet.

.In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
